Maryann S Owosso , MI March 13, 2014 Appliance: Model 1317798000 My 20 year old frigidaire stackable washer needed the lid switch replaced so it would trigger the spin cycle I unplugged the power source to the appliance. I unscrewed 2 screws and unplugged the lid switch. I replaced the old switch with the new switch and screwed in the same 2 screws that held the old switch in place and plugged the new lid switch back in under the lid. that's it . I plugged in the washer and started a load of clothes. works just fine. NO HUGE REPAIR BILL. Gosh it makes me happy to do such a simple repair to my old machine and for a very reasonable part price, my washer is running like new! thank you also for having such a user friendly web site. p.s the time before the lid switch, I ordered a belt for the old washer from appliance pros and between the new belt and the lid switch the machine is spinning like a new washer. I'm a grandma who is delighted to be my own repair gal. such a savings!

Eric M Rockford , MI October 23, 2014 My top loader frigidaire washer was not spinning or draining I initially had removed the front panel cover to check the tubes for blockage and check the drain pump for any article of clothing which may have gotten from the tub into the houses. This checked out okay so then started down the list, starting with the Lid Lock Switch Assembly. It was not making a click when tested so made an educated guess the switch had gone bad. I did a quick Google search and AppliancePartsPros popped to the top of the list. I found the part I needed and with a click submit of the button I had my replacement switch within 2 days. I swapped out the switches in a matter of 2 minutes and presto, the washer began to spin and drain.

Walter R Pittsfield , ME December 19, 2014 Gfci outlet for washer had tripped followed by intermittent stopping or failure to start Found lid switch had melted. Ordered new part. New part was different from OEM part. Read installation instructions, and learned the new part would fit. I did have to drill one new hole in the top lip of the side panel to make it fit, but it was much cheaper than paying someone to fix it. Again, appliancepartspros.com saved me lots of money. Thanks guys. Read More... 2 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
